To achieve this, there is Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), a set of information systems that enable the integration of certain procedures and automate business activities, from order entry, payment collection, purchasing supplies, to paying vendors.
On the other hand, cloud-based computing (also called Software as a Service, or SaaS), allows users to access software applications that run on shared computing resources (e.g., processing power, memory, and disk storage) over the Internet. These computing resources are maintained in remote data centers dedicated to hosting multiple applications on various platforms.
Now, let’s talk about Cloud ERP. A software as a service (SaaS) that allows users to access the enterprise resource planning (ERP) system over the Internet. Cloud ERP generally has much lower upfront costs because the computing resources are rented monthly instead of being purchased outright and maintained on-site. Cloud ERP also gives companies access to their critical business applications at any time, from anywhere.
Having these services reside in the cloud is a great advantage for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as it provides access to these full-featured applications at a reasonable cost. This means the business does not have to incur substantial upfront expenses on hardware and software, because by using a suitable cloud provider, they can quickly scale their business productivity software as their business grows or a new company is added.
For this type of solution, Evertec offers the Acumatica system, an adaptable business management product designed for the growth of small and medium-sized organizations.
